MOCHA BREAD PUDDING

 

2 eggs

2 Tbsp sugar

2 1/4 cups milk

1 tsp instant coffee

2 tsp cocoa powder

2 slices bread, NOT buttered, sliced into thirds

5 drops rum essence (optional)

 

Cut the bread into thirds, and layer these fingers in a casserole

dish.

 

Beat the eggs and sugar together. Add the milk, cocoa, coffee, and

rum essence and mix well. Pour this mixture through a strainer

over the bread.

 

Bake at 180 degrees C (350 degrees F) for 30 minutes, until the

custard sets. Allow to stand 5 minutes before serving. This is nice

hot or cold.

 

(I used low-fat Lactaid milk to make this, and have made similar

recipes with soy milk. I'm sure you could substitute egg replacer

for the eggs, but I haven't tried this myself. For a richer pudding,

spread the bread with butter or substitute.)
